Electronic stability control (ESC)

Electronic stability control (ESC) may enhance your vehicle’s directional

stability during adverse maneuvers, for example when cornering severely

or avoiding objects in the roadway. Electronic stability control operates

by applying brakes to one or more of the wheels individually and, if

necessary, reducing engine power if the system detects that the vehicle

is about to skid or slide laterally.

During ESC events the stability control light in the instrument cluster

will flash.

Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the ESC system, which

include but are not limited to:

• Taking a turn too fast

• Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle

• Driving over a patch of ice or other slippery surfaces

• Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road

• Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice

versa

• Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa

• Cornering while towing a heavily loaded trailer (refer to Trailer

towing in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter).

Switching off AdvanceTrac威

If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine

power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac威 system may be

beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This will restore full

engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle.

To switch off the AdvanceTrac威 system, press the stability control

switch. Full features of the AdvanceTrac威 system can be restored by

pressing the stability control switch again, or by turning off and

restarting the engine.

When the AdvanceTrac威 system is

off, the stability control off light will

illuminate steadily. Pressing the

AdvanceTrac威 control switch again

will turn off the stability control

light.

In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction

control features will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.
